Welcome To ComputerCorps!
This was my first year as an onlooker. I found this celebration to be filled with lots of good old folks and hometown spirit as the observance of Nevada's admission to statehood is remembered. This day is more then just a parade for the natives of the state; this day is a true celebration of Nevada's heritage.
ComputerCorps has partaken in this exciting event for the last seven years. This is a time that fellow Nevadans flock to the state capitol, Carson City, to recall the founding of this most wonderful and great state!
